Competition history: Qualified for the World CrossFit Games 2014 (45-49 age group) and finished 11th. Also in 2014, was part of a four-person masters team (age 40-plus) that finished first. In 2017, my teammate, Krista Colson, and I were co-champs in the 45-49 division. CrossFit Open state champ in 2017.

Favorite move: Muscle-ups

Why CrossFit: The challenging workouts and learning new skills along with the sense of community that CrossFit fosters.

My CrossFit: I got started in CrossFit basically because my wife had been doing it for a couple years and got me to try it. I have always been an athlete. I was a Division I hockey player in college, and she thought I would enjoy it.

Goals: I am currently participating in the CrossFit Open, which is a series of five workouts over five weeks. There are over 10,000 competitors in the masters division, ages 50-54. The ultimate goal is to get in the top 20 and qualify to compete in the World CrossFit Games held in Madison, Wisconsin, in August.
